That was kind of my point.
I was pointing out that if, as you claimed, knowledge of boomerangs could only come from divine revelation, it would be a bit odd if God came down and told them about boomerangs and yet forgot the whole, "You better believe in me as well!"
And yet you are claiming that's precisely what happened.

Because I'm not.
Why did you assume I would be?
Oh, BTW -- are my ten men allowed to edit like the originals were?

Then I'll repeat myself:
Anyone can come up with a religious writing.
No one can come up with the Bible, unless God is behind It.
And add:
No one AFAIK is willing to test It.
No.TLK Valentine said:
Your ten men represent the autographs, the first writings, in their own handwriting.
BUT you may allow the autographs to be redacted* -- not freely edited -- redacted.
* But not by the original ten men.

Nobody could come up with the Qu'ran, unless Allah is behind it. Make a point?
You truly know nothing about how the Bible was compiled, and that's amusing.

No argument there.

What does the compiling of the Bible have to do with who wrote It?TLK Valentine said:
And speaking of compiling, did you ever read my post about how the 39 books of the Old Testament are arranged in perfect balance, with the fulcrum right in the middle?

God might have revealed himself to them, but like most they may have chosen to make their own form of religion. This is what has happened with most societies. God's actual word is too harsh so they craft easier ones. Isn't it curious that most peoples have an innate need to worship something of a supernatural nature.

Because you say so... but who are you?
You honestly don't know.
...which has plenty to do with who did and didn't write it. See what happens when you answer your own questions?

You're kidding, right?
You ... a college professor of literature?
The one who impressed the snot out of me by correctly answering my question about the three types of Hebrew poetry?
Then you come across with this!?
How my cars are parked (compiled) in my driveway have nothing to do with who built (wrote) them.
When the books of the Bible were compiled in three-hundred-and-something AD, it was a simple matter of weeding out the authorized books from the unauthorized ones.
You have the 66 books comprising the Bible.
You have fourteen books argued about without being settled comprising the Apocrypha.
Everything else is pseudepigrapha.

Sorry, you don't get to redefine "Allah". That amounts to a failed argument. In case you did not know it in this argument "Allah" and "God" are equivalent.
Try again.

And yet a Muslim will say the exact same about your beliefs.
If you want to claim that the Bible is perfect then the burden of proof is upon you, but you do not get to ignore the countless errors in the Bible if you make such a claim.

How do we know there are errors? And yes, this is a trick question.
Because history and science clearly tell us that either there were errors or that God was deceitful. Better to think that there are human errors in the Bible rather than to think that God lies in my opinion.

Sure thing. Allah is a fallen angel.
And not only that, Mohammad was a false prophet.

And the only ones being fooled are the one's who don't believe in the Bible.

I'm a blood bought, born again, Bible believing Baptist boy.
A Christian by election, Baptist by conviction.
A sinner saved by grace.
What are you?
